Pantry

Isa ako sa mga taong malimit na nasa silid na ito. Sa bawat pagpasok ng mga tao dito ay maraming kwentuhan, tawanan, chismisan, awayan at iyakan ang nadidinig ng munting silid na ito. Kapana-panabik ang bawat sandali ng pagtigil dito. Lalo na kapag may mga bagong palabas sa telebisyon, bagong pelikula, bagong kanta, bagong gadget at kung anu-ano pang bago.

Nakakatuwang isipin na dito nabubuo ang mga pagkakaibigan na daig pa ang magkakapatid ang turingan lalu na kapag breaktime. Share your blessings! ang pinaka- importanteng rule sa loob nito. Kailangan ma-experience ng bawat isa ang lasa ng pagkain mo. Kung minsan kailangan hating-kapatid lalu na kapag may pasalubong ang mga Japanese.

Hindi ko alam kung anong meron sa loob nito. Ang alam ko lang sa pagdating ng panahon na ako’y umalis dito, isa ang pantry na magsisilbing alaala ng mga masasayang araw ko sa HRD.

On This Day...

Dear Lord,

It took us a long time to fulfill this dream. We thank you for giving us all the happiness and trial we had. It is you who always gives us the guiding spirits. Now we pray for only one thing... Lord make this marriage of our's the most lasting.

TWO WORDS

In a while, in a word,
Every moment now returns.
For a while, seen or heard,
How each memory softly burns.
Facing you who brings me new tomorrows,
I thank God for yesterdays,
How they led me to this very hour,
How they led me to this place...

Every touch, every smile,
You have given me in care.
Keep in heart, always I'll,
Now be treasuring everywhere.
And if life should come to just one question,
Do I hold this moment true?
No trace of sadness,
Always with gladness...
'I DO...'

The Preparation...

Things I Wish You Knew…

1. I eat a lot when I’m depressed.
2. I’m down to do whatever as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.
3. I laugh easily even at the corniest jokes.
4. I spend money wisely when I have it.
5. I don’t dream big, I just dream enough.
6. I treat people like how I wanna be treated.
7. I do what I want when I want it.
8. I take consideration to everything that’s goin’ on me.
9. When I have a problem, all I need is for you to listen. No need to solve anything.
10. I don’t mind if you’re late- as long as you call first.
11. I need you to tell me how you feel about me.
12. I always wanted to learn how to play guitar.
13. I’m happy because I don’t expect too much.
14. Mature but sometimes immature.
15. I face every problem with a smile.

One of These Days

I fear one of these days I will just breakdown. I hate being in this situation. I can’t concentrate on anything at all because I’m just there but not really. I know that I am not making sense but I am just trying to find something real that will define who I am at this point of my life. The darned things is that I know I’m looking for something but I’m not sure what I’m actually looking for or where to start. Everyday I just fall deeper into unknown nothingness without really feeling…seeing anything...

MIS Fellowship 2008

It's another enjoyable night when we held our 2008 Fellowship at Carl Ced'z. An evening of fine dining with sumptuous foods and drinks yet, simply one of the best.

Isn't pretty obvious that all MIS staffs are really addicted with picture taking? Many of them are really photogenic and funny.

Look!

Why Wedding Ring Should Be Put On The Fourth Finger?

Thumb represents parents

Second finger represents brothers & sisters

Center finger represents own self

Fourth finger represents your partner

Last finger represents your children

Please read the following, you may not believe that really God made this a miracle (this is from a Chinese excerpt) but still interesting!

Firstly, join your two palms, center finger bend and put together back to back. Secondly, let the rest of the 4 fingers touch tips to tip. Game begins, follow the instructions below for all the 5 fingers but only 1 pair can split.

Try to open your thumb, the thumb represents parents, it can be opened because all human being do go thru sickness and death. Whoever may be, our parents will leave us one day.Please close up your thumb, then open your second finger, this finger represents brothers and sisters, they do have their own family, which is the reason that they will leave us too. Now close up your second finger.

Open up your little finger, this represents your children. Sooner or later they too will leave us for they got they own living to live nevertheless, close up your little finger.
Try to open your fourth finger in which we put our wedding ring; you will be surprised to find that it cannot be opened at all. Because it represents husband and wife, this whole life you will be attached to each other.

Real love will stick together forever and ever. . .

Growing With Someone

"Years ago, I asked God to give me a spouse, "You don't own because you didn't ask" God said. Not only I asked for a spouse but also explained what kind of spouse I wanted. I want a nice, tender, forgiving, passionate, honest, peaceful, generous, understanding, pleasant, warm, intelligent, humorous, attentive, compassionate and truthful spouse.

I even mentioned the physical characteristics I dreamt about. As time went by I added the required list of my wanted spouse. One night, in my prayer, God talked to my heart: "My servant, I cannot give you what you want" I asked, "Why God?" God said "Because I am God and I am fair. God is the truth and all I do are true and right" I asked "God, I don't understand why I cannot have what I ask from you?" God answered, " I will explain.It is not fair and right for Me to fulfill your demand because I cannot give something that is not your own self.

It is not fair to give someone who is full of love to you if sometimes you are still hostile, or to give you someone generous but sometimes you can be cruel, or someone forgiving; however, you still hide revenge, someone sensitive; however, you are very insensitive...." He then said to me: "It is better for Me to give you someone who I know could grow to have all qualities you are searching rather than to make you waste your time to find someone who already have the qualities you want. Your spouse would be bone from your bone and flesh from your flesh and you will see yourself in her and both of you will be one.

Marriage is like a school. It is a life-long an education. It is where you and your partner make adjustment and aim not merely to please each other, but to be better human beings and to make a solid teamwork. I do not give you a perfect partner, because you are not perfect either. I give you a partner with whom you would grow with."

HAPPY TWO-GETHER!!!

"Here's some pointers for a better, healthier relationships...

The guy who loves his mom will be a good boyfriend. Why? Because if he has high respect for his mother, he will have high respect for women. (ehem...)

Don't give everything away. Leave some things a mystery. Guys love conquest. If you already give your all, wala ng something to look forward to sa relationship nyo. And the guy will become kampante. Assure him of your love and faithfulness, but warn him too: "umayos ka diyan! You can lose me anytime...".

BIG PAGKAKAIBA:

What a girl needs most is love. What a guy needs most is respect. The most important thing for a girl is her heart. For a guy it’s his ego. Give your man his own time and space. Let him have his time for his friends, sports, family, self, and God. The relationship will grow old quickly if lagi kayong magkasama. Give him time to miss you and you'll see how he will love you more. If the guy naman is obsessed and just wants to be with you all the time, tell him you can’t respect a "puppy" for long.

Do things differently anytime. Para kahit matagal na kayo, there is always something fresh and new. Variety is the spice of life. Exciting baga?

"Making love" is better than just "having sex". And true love "waits". Save your precious "gift" on your wedding night. Di nagiging tama ang mali , just because uso naman and everyone's doing it. Be iba.

Discover something you both like to do and enjoy it TWOgether. Doon naman sa mga ba gay na magkaiba ang hilig nyo, compliment each other by learning about it kahit konti. If you love someone, yung effort nyo to try will go a looooong way to understanding him later pag may disagreement kayo.

Pray with holding hands. Sounds corny noh? Maybe, but its very powerful. Pag may takot sa Diyos ang boyfriend,mo, kampante ka na di ka nya lolokohin, because he knows God sees everything he does in secret. Ikaw na ang magkusa that before you part after date, with hold hands and eyes closed, pray to God to bless you two. Believe me it's effective. Kailanman, di corny ang magdasal.

Never think "mababago ko sya pag kami na...". Only God can change a person, and only if that person wants to. Even God cannot steer parked cars.

Believe in "Magic". Kahit di minsan practical o walang logical na dahilan, o matrabaho, o sounds crazy sa iba, do sweet little things for the one you love kahit magmukha ka ng timang. The memories will be fun to recall later in life. The corniest song o gift o letter (aminin mo) ang laging kabog!

True love brings out the best in each other. Find something good in your boyfriend and nurture it, encourage it and syempre, ENJOY it.

It's healthy to fight. Doon nyo lang maaayos ang mga differences nyo at natetest ang tatag ng relationship. Doon mo rin sya makikilala ng mabuti. Its called test of fire. Di mahalaga how dalas you fight. What matters is how often you make bati. Mas nakakatakot yung relasyong sobrang perfect at laging masaya. One big fight and that's it! And diba mas kilig yung malambing na... "uy, bati na tayo...". But don't overdo it. Kakapagod naman din na lagi na lang manuyo o magsori. Choose the battles na papatulan mo. The little issues, palampasin na. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Daraan sa iba't-ibang stages ang love especially pag matagal na kayo. Grow with it. Don't expect him to be like nung una. 'Coz like a student, di na ituturo sa grade 6 yung lessons na pang-grade 2. Change WILL happen... you both will change and your love WILL change too. It's up to you na lang if the change will be for the better or for the worse. Life is about growth. Grow with it.

When break up comes and its time to say goodbye, don't doubt the love just because it didn't last. May mga bagay sa buhay na di man nagtatagal, it doesn't mean di na ito totoo. Some good things are just never meant to last forever. Okay lang yon. Bless the parting and move on.

Expect tears, sorrow, sleepless nights and pain. Ika nga "it's when you hurt the worse that you love the MOST." Kung di ka willing masaktan, wag ka na lang magmahal.

Life is a balance. And love is both holding on and letting go. Know when to fight for your man and when to let him go. God will guide you kung anong dapat gawin sa kung anong sitwasyon. So dapat mataas ang signal ng langit sa cellfone ng puso mo to know His wisdom.

Do things right. Di totoong masarap ang bawal gay a ng sabi ng iba. Kasi may kabayaran yon later. Corny ang madali. Paghirapan mong gawin ang tama at totoo and one day ikaw din ang aani ng bunga nito.

DATE IDEAS:

A walk in the park, along the bay area watching the sunset, biking sa big, open spaces, stargaze at night sa ibabaw ng bubong, jog @ 5 am and wait for the sunrise, singing with a guitar (or a walkman) under a tree's shade sharing hopia and siomai (yikes!). Wag lagi sa mall. Involve nature. The best things in life pa rin ay free. Di kailangan gumasta ng malaki para sumaya o maging romantic. Be creative.

Honesty is the best policy... ika nga ni Jimmy Santos. Pero laging nasa timing at paraan ng pagsasabi ang technique. Pag malumanay mong sasabihin sakin na ipagpapalit mo na ako sa iba o papatayin mo na ko sa sobrang gigil, Gosh! Mato-touch pa ko! May lambing eh!

Don't NAG. Sabi ng don't nag eh! Sabi ko don't nag, don't nag, don't naaaaaaggg!!!

Yung effort, sa kahit anong gawain o effort mo ay laging 2 billion ganda/pogi points yan. Do little surprises every now and then. PARA SO HAPPY TWO-GETHER!!! "

Tamang Panahon

Ang pagmamahal dumadating sa tamang oras at tamang pagkakataon.minsan sinisisi pa natin ang sarili natin kung bakit ngayon mo lang nalamang mahal mo sya. Kung alam mo lang. Ngayon mo lang yon nalaman kasi eto yung tinatawag na "tamang panahon".

So we think of love as a past time. Fling at trip lang yung mahal nya ngayon. Bukas hindi na... boyfriend nya ngayon pero tanggap nya na isang araw tatawagin nya din yung "ex". Matagal nga inaabot pa ng taon pero ilang taon?? 1? 2? 3? tapos pag nagkakasawaan na nag-aayawan na at may iba naman na nagtatagal lang ng taon dahil nanghihinayang sa pinagsamahan...

Bata pa masyado ang ganong magmahal may iba naman na masyadong seryoso at sensitibo pag dating sa bagay na yan. Yung tipo ng taong handang I-risk ang lahat.. Magbigay.. magparaya.. para lang doon sa taong mahal nya. Meron pang iba dyan na pinipigilan yung nararamdaman nya kasi high school pa lang o di kaya teenager pa lang, gusto nya kasing maging sila nung taong yon sa panahong seryosohan na..yung sigurado na sya na yung taong yon nga ang gusto nyang makasama pang habang buhay..kumbaga "tamang panahon"..

Masarap magmahal ng taong mahal ka din. Yung feeling n’yo soulmate kayo.. Kaya kung para sa’yo talaga siya..ilang taon man kayo di magkita, ilang tao man ang mahalin niya, gaano man siya kalayo o marami mang hadlang.. magkikita pa rin kayo kung talagang para kayo sa isa't isa...
Pag-ibig???....hindi hinahanap yan..kusa yang dumarating sa "tamang panahon"…

Echoes of Our Hearts

Sometimes we close our eyes and just listen to the echoes of our hearts. We all fall in love and there are times when we love so much that we lose our selves in our own emotions. More often than not, we wonder why there are love that grows and love that grows cold. We would start to search for answers and try to find where love has gone wrong. But in the end we find our selves where we started for we cannot question love when it has its own reasons. Love will always be as it always had been… silent, mysterious and deeply profound.

Many of us believed that love is forever… that love never dies. Only to be disillusioned in the end when we find our hands empty and our hearts longing. We mistakenly looked at love as a need to be fulfilled. But love is only a gift given to us. We should not hold it in our hands for we may never find the strength to let it go when it decides to leave. We should only embrace its warmth and glow while it last and then freely open our arms when its time to say goodbye.

When we fall in love with someone, we don’t want that feeling to end for it is everything we are……. everything that we wanted to be. We pray that love will stay and grow in our hearts. But if it doesn’t, then we should never let our lives be taken by it for life should not end where heartaches begin.

There is always a reason why we had to move on. When we have to say goodbye to the feelings we wanted to stay forever, let us not wave our hands with a heavy heart. For love will have to set its wings free and find the place where it belongs. We may have lost it but then again when we close our eyes and listen to the echoes of our hearts, we will hear that feeling resounding silently forever.

Then we’ll know that it has never left us for the good that we have become because love will always stay. It will always be there reminding us that we should be thankful and happy… not because we have lost love but because for once in our lives that feeling lived in our hearts and made us happy.

The Right One

Somebody once told me that, “finding the right person is very hard and very wrong... it is best to be right person for the one you love and there you’ll always end up disappointed when you set standards and define a “right person” for you... and don’t rush things because somewhere somehow God is preparing somebody for you.”

You can never be perfect... the person you love can never be perfect, but both of you can be perfect through love and prayers, and your love can be perfect through the both of you. But no relationship is perfect without God. That’s why we have marriage. It’s a bond not only between you and your loved one, but also with God.

Our relationship fail not because (s)he’s not the right person, it’s because we expected too much and we decide on our own. Let God do the work. You may call it waiting time, but while you are waiting... pray. Let God guide you always. He knows better. No, He knows best!

Love is not what you think, it is sometimes we mistakenly feel that our first relationship will be our last. Because we are overwhelmed with joy and romance, we forget to learn the meaning of true love. Some are saying that love is unselfish, blind, unconditional or simply denying oneself for the sake of someone very important in our life. Other is saying love is immortal and can never be defined. When we think we’re in love the first thing we almost wanted the whole world to know is that our love for someone very special can never be taken away from us. We say this phrase “you are the most wonderful gift from God I have ever received...” After a terrible fight or sometimes ever a petty quarrel we then say “you are the biggest mistakes I’ve ever made in my entire life!!!

Now how do you say and spell the word L.O.V.E? Are you really deeply into it? Nobody can tell what love really is until experience speaks and whisper right into our ears. Most of the time; these love promise like, “forever, till death do us part, etc...” Would end up “never” and we should part ways. I’m not no longer happy with you! “My love for you is dead! “Many times we thought after having committed to someone and your trust to one another freezes down to zero degree. (S)He ain’t the right one to come. But the big question anyone could answer is “is she/he the right one?” and “when is the right time?”

That made us stick to whom we are with. Will you always be waiting the right person to come and the right time to commit? A big YES is the answer. Don’t be in hurry to get into a relationship because you can never find love if you insist that you be already into it. Try to find to really understand your feelings, to know who you really are, and what you really want in a relationship. You’re the right, there’s no such thing as a perfect relationship, but there is a compatible relationship that goes, along with it. If you already knew that you’re too big to fit into a small size T-shirt, don’t give it a try. You’ll probably break it and pay for the damage you have made. If you knew felt that the relationship will not last, don’t go deeper into it. You’ll just suffer the consequences and live hell the rest of your life. It is hard to say goodbye though, but you can’t make it any better by just pretending you still have the same feelings.

Try to let go and give yourself a change to live to the fullest. Give yourself a change to grow and give your heart a much-needed attention. Then you will find that you have made the right decision and made it all by yourself. More frequently than not, we all act in hypocritical manner for some reason.

We call it love when we can’t leave someone and see them crying as we try to let go. We are wrong it’s just pity. We call it love when we’re too attached and think that losing the one we love will somehow make us weak and unable to face the storm of life. We misunderstood, its just that we’re too much dependent to them. We call it love when we give our whole life to them, the wholeness of us and imagined that if they leave, no one would accept our past and us. We are mistaken, its just insecurity. But no matter what the definition is, the truth still remains that love isn’t something you can buy or beg. It is real and existing...

Love... Love... Love

When I was small, I used to think of what love is, and as I recall, I even dreamed of having to feel it, not the love one feels for his father or mother, nor the love you have for your brother or

sister.

I thought of love a something special and beautiful, something to keep your mind off your work and school, I pictured it to be somewhat enchanting, and somehow to the point you’ll forget something.

I’ve imagine it also to be a little confusing, when your quite not sure of what your feeling, sometimes you might even say “ he is the one! “ but in the end you’ll realize his not the right man.

When you thought everything was fine, and declare “ he’s so cute, so kind and he’s mine,” but soon found out his not yours alone, because he’s playing around all along.
When everything’s smooth and nothing’s wrong, you suddenly cannot hear the music and the song you don’t know how to tell him so you continued pretending, but deep inside you know its unfair for you will be hurting.

All people always want to experience loving, and when they do you will see them enjoying, but when pain strikes them you’ll hear them saying, “ I don’t want to love anymore, I hate him, I hate him! “.

Now I’ve prepare myself for the understanding, that love isn’t just a toy or something, it’s a feeling that makes you feel high its as it your in the heavens in the sky.Yes it hurts when it didn’t work out, but you don’t need to close the door and pout do not be afraid to love and start a new, because there’s always a different side of love to view.

Remember that its not always end to hurting and hating, time will come you’ll hear “ I do’s exchanging, keep your heart open and it sure is a happy ending.

Are You A Chronic Shopper?

Shopping can be as bad an addiction as gambling or drugs. If you’re experiencing these symptoms you might be a compulsive shopper.

1. You habitually buy things you don’t need, sometimes even leaving the price tags on long after you made your purchases.

2. You don’t just like to shop, you need to shop especially when you’re in bad mood.

3. You experience of feelings of guilt and shame after you’ve spent money shopping.

4. You get into fights with your parents, friends, work, and boyfriend because of your spending habits.

5. You lie about how much you really paid for the staff you bought.
